how much are you willing to or planning to spend on the front components, amplifier for them (it would be sacrelige not to amp a decent set of components and take full advantage of what they can sound like), and possible sub/amp? as well as the head unit? again, for a rock solid feel, highest quality sound, and highest quality build, Nakamichi is the first place I would turn. old school stock looking deck too... no 2 bit tool off the street is going to see that and think high end (even though he could be looking at a $1600 head unit)... JVC and Alpine are both good places to look. Alpines 2004-2006 lines have annoyed and disapointed me to no end, lets hope their 2007 line has something better to offer, or I'll keep sending the budget minded folk to Pioneer... I miss the days of recomending Alpine to be honest.
